Today, write a poem including the following lines in any order:
“I tie a ribbon in a foolish way”
“The delicious fragility of this travesty”
“Where we still laugh and wish”
Okay, here we go. Quick and dirty per request.
I walk this street a lifetime ago
Where we still laugh and wish
For a future we would never know
Once promised in a kiss
A sun bleached boardwalk a lifetime ago
With ribbons in my hair
Skipping barefoot as I throw
Rose petals in the air
Here again a sunny day
My mind too tired to wander
I tie a ribbon in a foolish way
Skip the boardwalk in your honor
The delicious fragility of this travesty
Not lost to the observant
Abandon is my majesty
And I her humble servant

I declare this my favorite.
Well done, Cocktail!

The last stanza especially. Yes.
Quick and dirty it may be, but you'd never know it to read it.
I can only agree. That was great, especially that last stanza. You do quick and dirty poetry really well.
